namespaceify

Browserify transform to namespace local directories for cleaner requires

usage

Use it as a browserify transform and give it a list of namespaces to transform into local requires!

"transform": [
    ["namespaceify", {"namespaces": {"components": "./lib/components"}}]
]

options

• namespaces (required) an object mapping "module names" to local directories.
• aliases (optional) an array specifying aliases for require to also transform, defaults to ['require'].
• extensions (optional) an array specifying extensions to parse, defaults to ['js'].
• dir (optional) a directory to consider the "root", defaults to CWD

example

consider the above example mapping "components" to "./lib/components". this allows you to turn:

// lib/pages/reports/user-reports.js
const calendarComponent = require('../../components/calendar')

...into:

const calendarComponent = require('components/calendar')

much cleaner! and far more portable!

alternatives

if namespaceify doesn't tickle your fancy, or you just simply don't need all of the flexibility it provides, here are some other great options for doing something similar:

• pkgify
• remapify
• aliasify
